Effective School-Based Prevention Programming

What works best to keep kids safe and healthy?

3 big picture research-based strategies

• 1. Community wide, consistent messaging (i.e. school + family)
• 2. Long-term – multiple contacts (i.e. 10 lessons of D.A.R.E.) and

repeated contacts (i.e. early grades, elementary, middle, and high school developmental levels)

• This gives students an opportunity to understand information at increasingly

complex level

• Gives students an opportunity to practice real life skills to support knowledge

and decisions

• 3. Based in social-emotional learning and interpersonal skills to

support students in managing relationships and peer influence
